As someone who has dropped almost all social media (mostly so I can get more done, but also for privacy), I can point out some non obvious consequences. This blog post mentions that stopping the use of Facebook will prevent you from seeing your nephews baby pictures... This is true.
My extended family and remote friends actually got upset when I dropped Facebook. They asked why I didn't want to be part of their lives, asked why I was choosing not to talk to them anymore... All while texting me on phones that allow instantaneous communication of any type of election media imaginable, more so that Facebook allows.
Moral of the story: Facebook and other social media makes most people socially lazy with continuous use. If you don't believe me, go try to meet someone under the age of 30 "out in the wild", at a bar or venue. Bars used to be easiest places to meet anyone at, just walk in, sit at the front, and start chatting. I'm not talking about people who are on their phones ignoring the outside world; even people just chilling and having a beer just don't know how to talk to someone outside of their social media platforms.
I think he's saying that in the persuit of security, Google has engineered the usefulness and useability out of this application.
There are good, sane, safe ways to hold login credentials. Instead of those ways, Google has picked one that is incredibly inconvenient, and with opening a server on your machine, also opens a new attack surface... I hope they deviated from their aweful coding practices and made the server right...
Fantastic example. I've had more than a couple of my Marines end up in hot water for accidentally violating ROEs, and they paid for it. On foreign soil, against a country we were at war with. Shouldn't the same actions back at home be seen as more egregious, not less?
I completely agree. As for old laws used as leverage... Look up the laws for "gravity knives" in New York. If you live in New York, and carry a pocket knife, you are likely a criminal without knowing it. And it'll likely never become an issue, unless a cop decides that he/she doesn't like you.
#MeToo is... Disobedient? To whom? 17th century white male Lord's who live by rule of thumb? It is just ridiculous. Apparently this is just a generic "Good Award", for doing "Good Things in General"! Good job #MeToo, you did something good, and MIT Media Lab wants to recognize you for it! Jesus, this is literally bad for both sides.
Jeez, I think this specific comment chain illustrates one reason why the OP decided to make a new text editor. And this is why I don't use vim anymore. You have 4 people, all somewhat experienced vim users (guessing based on prior posts), who all have conflicting ideas about how to do a simple move operation.
This goes beyond "counterintuitive-ness"... After a few years working with vim, I find myself unable to easily recall how to do some basic operations. Vim is counter-retentive for me as well. Thanks OP, I'm gonna start playing with Amp now!
No, takes a ridiculously long time on my school's network, which is blazing fast. It's limited by my laptops cpu and ram, which is maxed the whole time it's loading
No shit. This has been common knowledge for a long time, except among people who go to major media outlets for health advice, rather than factual scientific literature...
